The Arabic Language


One day, I was watching an international conference on TV with my family, and when I noticed that several of the foreigner speakers were fluent in Arabic. This surprised me at first, but after some consideration, I could see what inspires so many foreigners to learn our language. Arabic is a charming and popular language, with a rich vocabulary. Because of this, I made the decision to learn more about it, and in this essay, I will share what I have learned about this great language.


Languages are an important part of human identity, and we can often tell people's nationalities from the language they speak. Arabic is considered as one of the world's most unique languages, and it is the mother tongue of the Arabs. It distinguishes them from the rest of the world. Arabic is also spoken by people in a number of regions, including North Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Gulf. The Arabic language includes many dialects, which differ from each other based on the country and the region. Examples of the most famous Arabic dialects are: Egyptian Arabic, Gulf Arabic. When comparing the Arabic and English languages, we can notice the differences between them. The Arabic language differs from the English language in many ways, such as the number of letters. The number of letters in the English alphabet is 26, while in Arabic it is 28. In addition to that, Arabic is known as the "Language of Ḍād" because it is the only language in the world that contains the letter (Ḍād).


I have heard many people saying that the status of the Arabic language in the world will decline by time. But I don't agree with them. One day, I want to be among the people who seek to preserve its position, for I believe, from my point of view, that Arabic language is more than just words; it is an essential part of our history, culture, and life. That is why we must make every effort to keep it alive.
